Yet another car post.

Put the body on for the first time. Its gotta come off again soon. It will be on and off a bunch of times before Im done.

The motor isnt in yet and Im just starting the electrical. Not to mention the interior finishing and body work. Long way to go.

But, It looks like a car now. Im super happy.

 

The door ,hood, and trunkare just laying there..not bolted on.

Car Update

Finally got some free cash flow to put into the car.  Got front tires and all the hardware needed to finish off the front end.  Ive got more to spend later.  Need seats and a guage package...and the list goes on.  Hoping to have it to the go-cart stage by then end of the year.  I think its very do-able.

 

It was 105 today and I was working in the shade of the garage and I was still sweating my balls off.  Might have to pace myself until the temps cool off a bit.

A little update since I feel I have to talk about it...even if its just ranting into the ether.

 

Not much new on the car lately.  Went to Spain for vacation and had a few other bills pop up, so cash is tight for awhile and the car is on hold.

Car Update Again

I guess Ill lead off with gaming stuff since its a gaming site. Finished borderlands with a buddy of mine. 2 campaigns and 2 dlc packs. We figured out it took us a year to finish...we dont get to play much...a couple hours 1 or 2 days a week...maybe 3 weeks a month. But we're done and moving on...we only got to level 59 and crawmerax is 64 now so we have no chance and we dont want to grind up our level just for that.

Car Update

By popular demand, Ill give a short update on my car build progress.
Im getting off to a pretty slow start as it was a real scorcher of a summer in Las Vegas and the first several steps of the build require a lot of room and I needed to do them in the driveway..out in the sun.  Well, you only got about 5 minutes of work time before everything got too hot to touch.  So it sat for awhile.
First step is to get the body off and into the back yard for storage.  We decided the easiest route was through the living room.
